Intelligent Design by "Who's God"?
So Buddhists believe in reincarnation. Christians don't. Atheists believe in no god. Christians don't. Christians believe in Jesus. Jews don't. Buddhists don't. Atheists don't. Christians believe in the Bible. Jews don't. Buddhists don't. Atheists don't. Muslims don't. Agnostics don't. Hindus don't. Yet we are all expected to adhere to christian beliefs because they believe we should. We don't. So much for freedom of religion in the good 'ol US of A.
The pilgrims left England on a tiny little boat so they could worship the way they felt was right. They started the Boston Colony and instituted their laws based on their beliefs. Fine. Roger Williams left to pursue his own set of beliefs and founded Rhode Island. William and Mary founded Maryland. William Penn, Pennsylvania. Mr. Smith, Utah. Some of these people were escaping religious persecution and looking for freedom to worship in their own way. Others for the sole purpose of attaining property and wealth. Think the land rushes of Oklahoma. Property. California was explored by catholics for converts.
With all of this diversity in expanding this country, and the fact that the pilgrims came here to practice religious freedom, how can we reasonably say this country was founded on christian principle? How about human rights? Doesn't that seem more accurate? It does to me.
Now the religious right wants ME and YOU to believe in intelligent design. A theory based completely without intelligence and only on religious belief. Their religious belief. Take a look at this little cartoon and see what you think. Kind of puts this design theory in perspective. Then remember that G.W. wants YOU to worship Jesus. And he seems willing to compromise OUR first amendment for that end. Are you a christian? I'm not. Jews aren't. Buddhists aren't. Atheists aren't. Hindus aren't. Muslims aren't. Why should they worship Jesus? Because the religious right says so? If we aren't careful, it may just come to pass. What are YOU doing to be sure it doesn't?
